Will you do something like this for your Father?

NVIDIA GTX 295, a very Expensive GPU for a PC, cost about $500(or about Rp5,000,000).
Can u imagine u Have 23 GTX 295 in your rooms?

Jason Farqué, a blogger who also is a folding fellow (read:Home Computer can cure Alzheimer's?), made a server with 9pcs MSI 295s, 14 EVGA 295s (EVGA...>,< a GTX 260 and a 9800GT.... WOW!!!

if i calculate, it will be (23 x $500) + (1x$300) + (1x$90) = $11,890 (about Rp.118,900,000 rate$1=Rp10,000) only for GPUs, not include the motherboards and processors, and other peripherals.

What Makes him waste a lot of money?
like i said in my laste article Home Computer can cure Alzheimer's?, Folding@Home is a project computing to calculate protein for making cure for a lot of disease

Jason's Father suffer Huntington's Disease (a kind of neuro disease), that's why he want to contribute in this project.

Wow...when i read about this for the 1st time, i feel so touch and very proud of him.

This is Jason's Server:

SO....^^
will you do something like this for your father?
Although we don't cost 23 GTX 295, but at least will we sacrifice a lot of things in order to save people we love?

Home Computer can cure Alzheimer's?

YES!!! It can...

maybe u know, Nowadays PC/Computer is an important tools for scientist in finding and process many scientific project, such as Disease and Protein.

But,how a common people can involve and participate in this scientific project?

Stanford University has developed a distributed computing program called Folding@Home, which uses a small amount of processing power from your computer (and of many others around the world) to perform medical research. The Folding@Home project has already made substantial progress.

How can you do this "Folding@Home"?
Setup is simple - all you need is a computer and an Internet Connection. Simply download and run the Folding@Home Program from Stanford's Website.

When you run the program for the first time, it will ask you for a team number. Please be sure to join CHIP Indonesia Folding Fellow by entering Team Number 38608. As for your username, it's best that you use your current username from CHIP Forum(If You don't have, just create one ^^), so that it will be easier to identify you during events or contests in the future.

For more detailed information about the project, please see the official Folding@Home Website.

How bout me? I've participated in 38608 Team also ^^ since September 2008,with id hongo_takeshi.id and now i'm 34th at my team...but i have a problem in internet connection which makes me cannot access folding anymore..iks2

I HOPE YOU who read this, have interest to participate, to save people, our friends,and our family

Green Computing System (GCS)

Hi...This is me...n this is my first posting ever :p

One of many things i'm good at is about technology, especially computer. that's why i choose this topic to be my first post.^^

what is Green Computing System?
todays, Global warming is a serious issue for the world. U should be known what the global warming's effect for earth when you read this post.
One of many industries that blames for causes of Global Warming is IT industries, which products cause many wasted energy.

That's why many IT vendors, race to create their "Green" Products, which save more energy but do a great performance.
ROHS << do you know what this symbol means?

ROHS commonly referred to as the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive
This directive restricts the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacture of various types of electronic and electrical equipment.

RoHS is often referred to as the lead-free directive, but it restricts the use of the following six substances:

1. Lead
2. Mercury
3. Cadmium
4. Hexavalent chromium (Cr⁶⁺)
5. Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
6. Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)

So always buys Computer product, which has ROHS sticker.^^

and now, i'll show u my GREEN SYSTEM ^^


"WOW"...maybe that's your first impression of my sytem..."GREEDY and WASTED ENERGY", and that will be your 2nd opinion bout my system...hahaha
Although, mw system looks "GREEDY and WASTED ENERGY", but they're not at all.. and has pass ROHS compliment in every part ^^

so happy computing and always choose ROHS product..and SAVE OUR EARTH ^^
